QUID  PRO  QUO


Crud!  All I heard for three
weeks now are these three
words, “Quid pro quo!

Everybody on the news talk shows
used the Latin term, “quid pro quo”,
as if I knew exactly what they meant.

I did and I didn’t,  so I didn’t say
anything. I even used the term without
being sure of what I was saying.

I know it means, "Something for something."
"You scratch my back …. I’ll scratch yours."
"Nobody does nothing for nothing - no how."

Yet, I still don’t know what quid pro quo
means. I really don’t. So I’ll go with the
phrase: "There’s always a catch." Got it.
